Use Different Textures
We use textures in design because they can balance out a room by creating contrast. The contrast it creates provides depth and complexity to the room while keeping the eye interested, they do this by generating visual weight. This is the ability to draw attention. A really easy way to incorporate textures into your space is through your bed linen and cushions.
Try choosing at least three textures to work together within a room like a knitted carpet or throw a raised featured wallpaper and a silk bed duvet, all these elements work together to create a room that’s rich and full of depth. You can mix it up with diverse textures, layering them together for example using a cloth bedhead and wooden side tables.
Gloss vs matte, rough vs smooth. These different elements add value to the room.
Mix and Match your Furniture
Gone are the days when you would pick a matching bedroom suite now it’s all about mixing it up and harnessing textures in your design. We are not just talking about furnishings you should apply this across all areas of the room.
Matching sets are considered very outdated and can look cold, impersonal and even sterile! Yes, it may be easier to buy an entire set at once rather than picking individual pieces, but you’ll thank yourself for putting in the extra time as it can make all the difference in creating a room that not only looks more expensive but individual and less like a hotel room.

Think Green
Greenery is so important in interior design! It’s a great way to add life back to the room to bring colour and warmth without conflicting or competing with other colour choices.
Plants go with literally any colour scheme you’ve chosen. No need to worry about introducing a new colour to the room! They are a great way to fill dead space.
If you have an area you’re not so sure what to do with, a plant will elevate the space, adding a plant to a corner or on a table is a great way to add an element to the empty spaces without creating clutter.
Plants also help soften sharper lines or soften stronger coloured design choices.
Placing a plant next to a sharp TV cabinet or placing one in a bathroom is a great way to bring warmth back to a colder area.
